Breakfast on-the-go
Campfire Bagels
Ingredients:
- 2 bagels
- 4 tablespoons of cream cheese
- Your choice of toppings (for instance, 2 tablespoons of smoked salmon, a handful of fresh veggies, or 2 tablespoons of jam).
Instructions:
- Start a campfire and let it burn down to embers.
- Put the bagels onto a grilling rack or place them on a stick, making sure they are secure.
- Hold the bagels over the fire, but not directly in the flame. Let them toast for 1-2 minutes, or until they are toasted to your liking. Be sure to turn them frequently to ensure even toasting.
- Once the bagels are toasted, remove them from the fire and let them cool slightly.
- Spread each half of the bagel with about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese.
- Add your favorite toppings, such as smoked salmon, fresh veggies, or jam, and enjoy!
Banana Pancakes
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions:
- In a bowl, start by peeling and mashing the two ripe bananas until no large chunks remain.
- Crack four large eggs into the bowl and whisk them together with the mashed bananas until well combined.
- Stir in two tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the banana and egg mixture. This step is optional, but it helps create a more traditional pancake texture. If you prefer, you can leave the flour out for gluten-free pancakes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, drop 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
- Cook until the edges look set and bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the banana pancakes warm. You can add optional toppings like a drizzle of maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts. Enjoy this healthy and satisfying campfire breakfast!

Campfire Breakfast Burritos
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 sausages or 4 strips of bacon
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheese
- 2 large tortillas
Instructions:
- Start by preparing your ingredients. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth. Slice your sausages or bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- Cook the sausages or bacon over your campfire or on a portable stove until they are well-done. Once cooked, remove them from the heat and set them aside.
- In the same pan, pour in the whisked eggs to make scrambled eggs. Stir the eggs occasionally until they are fully cooked.
- Warm the tortillas over the campfire or stove, making sure to flip them so they heat evenly. This should take about a minute on each side, but you can warm them to your preference.
- Once your tortillas are warm, you can start to assemble your burritos. Start by laying each tortilla flat and spreading half of the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage or bacon, and shredded cheese on each one.
- Roll up your burritos by folding in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then rolling from the bottom up. Your breakfast burritos are now ready to enjoy!
Remember, you can customize this recipe to your tastes. You might want to add some salsa, hot sauce, or even some grilled veggies for added flavor. Enjoy your campfire breakfast!
